Description

This early 20th-century Pearl Brand Pure Lard tin offers a glimpse into the culinary history of the United States. Originally containing 50 lbs of pure lard, this container measures 15.5 inches tall and showcases the charm of vintage advertising with its bold, orange and cream typography. 

Manufactured by The Pearl Packing Co. in Madison, Indiana, this piece is distinguished by its U.S. Department of Agriculture inspection seal, denoting adherence to early food safety standards. While the tin shows signs of age with some surface rust and dents on the lid, these imperfections only add to its authentic, historic allure. This item presents a fantastic opportunity for collectors of antique food packaging or anyone interested in American industrial history.
